I.INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
I.1 ECONOMIC GROWTH
According to the IMF estimates of June 2011, the global economy continues its recovery
process led by emerging and developing countries, while in developed countries economic
activity remained sluggish. For the second quarter 2011, real GDP is projected to grow by
2.0% and 1.8% respectively in the USA and Euro area after 3.1% and 2.0% in the last quarter
2010.
Despite renew concerns about the sovereign debt crisis, in the Euro Area economic activity
was up drawn by higher than expected investment in German and France while in USA, the
slowdown in economic growth was due to high food and gasoline prices which dampened
consumer spending, poor climate conditions and partly disruptions in industry supply chain
after Japans devastating earthquake and Tsunami.

the Euro Area, annual inflation reached 2.7% in June after 2.6% in March 2011 while in
Japan prices slightly rose by 0.2% in June compared to 0% in March 2011.
In the near future, inflation is expected to increase owing to oil price effects after political
unrest in the North Africa and Middle East, the debt crisis in Europe and on the back of
Japanese devastating earthquake and Tsunami.

previous quarter in USA while remained constant at 0.20% in Japan. In the Euro Area, 3-
months rate rose to 1.55% in the second quarter 2011 after 1.24% in the first quarter 2011.
During the second quarter 2011, US ten year government bond yield reduced to 3.16% after
3.47% in the previous quarter on lower than expected jobs creation and due to the slowing
manufacturing expansion. Similarly, in Euro zone and Japan, ten-year bond rate declined to3.02% and 1.14% after 3.35% and 1.26% respectively in the first quarter following
expectations about inflation and macroeconomic performances.

II. NATIONAL ECONOMIC PERFORMANCEII.1 REAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE
1.1 ECONOMIC GROWTH
For the year 2011, economic growth was initially expected to decline marginally to 7% from
7.5% achieved in 2010, reflecting expected adverse impact of rising fuel and food prices.However, according to current developments in key economic indicators of economic
activities (composite index and total turnovers of industry and service sectors), economic
performance for the current year would be far beyond the initial projections. Investment
projects are also expected to begin to have an impact on the countrys economic
performance in the medium term, and in this regard real GDP is projected to grow on
average by 7.2% per annum over the five period (2011-2015).
1.Agriculture Sector
1.1 Food Crop ProductionAccording to the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI), the harvest for
2011B i lt f d b tt th th h t f l t d t ll

National Bank Of RwandaQuarterly Bulletin
The performance for roots and tubers was better compared to other food crops since takesthe lions share with 51.81%. Their production increased by 15.80% mainly attributed to Irish
potatoes and taro whose production rose by 29.47% and 29.15% respectively. This better
performance was due to the continuous expansion in the land area under cultivation.
Cassava continued with the upward trend and this is a result of the adopted new cassava
trees (cultivars) that are resistant to the cassava mosaic disease, and sweet patatoes have
also increased by 8.38%.
Though production of cereals increased highly by 28.27% compared to other food crops,
their percentage share account for only 7.65% of the total food crop production. The high
growth in cereals was attributed mainly by a sensitive increase in maize production
(+62.10%), wheat (40.99%) and paddy rice (+36.39%), despite a decline in sorghum (-3.32%).The high increase in cereals was mainly a result of continuous expansion in the land area
under cultivation.
The production for legumes was favorable where most leguminous crops show a positive
trend, such as groundnuts, beans and peas whose production rose respectively by 39.86%,

1.2 Export CropsThe production of export crops did not performed better compared to the first six months
of the previous year. During the first half of 2011, production of tradable coffee decreased
by 19.9% compare to the same period of 2010 due to low coffee production cycle. Tea
production also declined by 3%, from 13 306 tons realized in the first half of 2010 to 12 922
tons in 2011.

Sugar production significantly rose by 42.5% in the first half 2011 compared to the first half
2010, recovering from last years low production as sugar cane plantations were destroyed
by heavy floods, and the factory has started operating in its normal conditions. However,
despite this significant increase, the factory is still too small to satisfy the domestic
demand, as evidenced by the recent hike in sugar prices. In addition, the factory stopped
production from mid-April to mid- June this year for maintenance of its machines as

Coffee and Tea
The production of coffee and tea decreased by 26.4% and 3% respectively. Coffeeproduction decreased as a result of low coffee season this year compared to the last years
season since coffee seasons are cyclical in nature as mentioned earlier. On the other hand,
tea production declined due to irregular climate tea plantations that were experienced in
March 2011 where heavy rains hindered green tea harvesting, resulting into low production.
It should be noted that in the harvest period, tea is harvested after every eight days after

2010. This situation is attributed to CIMERWA FACTORY, the major cement producing
company which has been facing problems as one of its burning furnace failed from mid last
year. Due to this, it will still be very difficult for the industry to meet its annual production
target of one hundred thousand tons. At the beginning of this year the factory received a
loan from AFDB to purchase equipments but still more financing is needed to build new
premises which will enable the factory to significantly increase its production capacity.
Regarding metals production, it declined by 1.7% as a result of poor business climate.

2.3 Quarterly Index of Industrial production (QIIP)
The Index of Industrial Production shows evolution of the volume of output of the Industrial
sector which covers mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply.
This index which compiled on a quarterly basis is one of the most industrial short-term
indicators, which aims at measuring, changes in the volume of industrial output. The
sectors weights are mining and quarrying (18.2%), manufacturing (67.8%), and electricity,
gas and water supply (14%).

Mining and quarrying index
The index of Mining and Quarrying which represents 18.2% of the industrial sector real
output rose by 68.7% in the second quarter on annual basis, as a result of high increase
noted in Coltan and wolfram products due to the rise in their prices at the international
markets.

2.4 Turnovers trend for industry and service sectors
In the second quarter 2011, industry sector account for 32% while service sector represent
68% of the total turnovers. The overall turnover for the industry and service sectors roseby 24.4% when compared to the second quarter 2010, of which industry sector rose by
27.9% while service sector grew by 22.8%. Economic activities are significantly improving
in the construction, mining, energy sectors, petroleum companies, financial services,
garage services, and trade services. However, recovery is still moderate in transport &
storage, and post and telecommunication services, as evidenced by recorded turnovers of
service sector.
A. Industry sector
The industry sector is dominated by manufacturing industries with a share of about 47% in
the second quarter 2011. Industrial activities rose by 27.9% in the second quarter 2011
compared to the second quarter 2010 attributed mainly by high increase in mining sector
(47.5%) and construction industry (39.4%).

B. Services sector
The overall services activities in the second quarter 2011 registered a nominal increase of
22.8% of their turnovers compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. This
better performance of the sector is mainly explained by high growth in petroleum
companies (54.3%), garage services (32.7%), trade services (23.2%) and banks and
insurance companies (+12.3%). However, post & telecommunication services declined by
8.5%.

National Bank Of RwandaQuarterly Bulletin
The Rwanda mineral exports continue to show good performance. The value of exported
tin increased by 206.1% and its volume rose by 75.4% due to the high increase in
international prices, from an average of 9.07 USD/kg in the first half of 2010 to 15.82
USD/Kg in the first half of 2011. Coltan exports increased by 110.7% in value and 17.1% in
volume, due mainly to high international prices from 20.72 USD/kg in the first six month
of 2010 to 37.27 USD/kg in the first half of 2011.
Pyrethrum exports increase significantly both in value and volume with respective
increasing rates of 159.5% and 147.7%. This performance resulting mainly from high
international prices where the unit price recorded an increase of 4.8% from 222.47 USD/kg
in the first six months of 2010 to 233.09 USD/kg in the first six months of 2011. Regarding
non traditional Rwandan exports, hides and skins increased by 137.1% in value and by
102.3% in volume, while other exports increased by 33.4% in value and by 97.3% in
volume.

B. Imports
Import products are classified into four main categories, namely consumer goods, capital
goods, intermediary goods, and energy & lubricants. During the first six month of 2011,
imports increased by 14.6% in volume while their value rose by 13.1%. This trend is mainly
due to the increase in value of consumer goods (10.3%), accounting for 30% of the total
value of imports, despite their volume declined by 12.8%. Capital goods increased by 4.0%
in value and by 24.3% in volume, and intermediate goods highly increased by 20.2% in

C. Trade with EAC countries
Since 2006, Rwandas total trade with EAC partner states recorded high increase from USD
278 to 600 million, driven mainly by imports indicating that Rwanda is a net importer in
the EAC region. However, the EAC imports seem to slow down due to decline in imports of

D. Informal cross-border trade
The Rwandan informal trade balance is globally in surplus. As evidenced by the results of
a survey being conducted by the Ministry of Commerce, National Bank of Rwanda and
National Institute of Statistics, total exports in second quarter 2011 under cross border
trade amounted to USD 30.97 millions from USD 24.65 millions in the same period of 2010
and represented around 19.8% of formal exports. During the same period, the informal
imports increased by 31.6% from USD 9.5 to 12.5 million between second quarter 2010 and
second quarter 2011, leading to deterioration in Rwandas positive trade balance with
neighboring countries. This informal cross border exports and imports are dominated by
crop products and live animals and the main trade partners are DRC and Uganda.

II.4 PUBLIC FINANCE AND DOMESTIC DEBT
II.4.1 PUBLIC FINANCE
Compared to the second quarter 2010, Government finances marked by a decline in total
revenues and grants (-2.76%) with RWF 239.16 billion in the second quarter 2011 against
RWF 245.94 billion in the second quarter 2010. This decrease reflects a shortfall in grants
due to delay of budget support disbursements. The overall fiscal deficit including grants
worsened from RWF +36.26 to RWF -25.37 billion in the second quarter 2011.

1. Government Revenues and Grants
The Governments overall macroeconomic strategy has continued to concentrate on
reinforcement of economic growth by stimulating domestic sources of growth, promoting
higher productivity and helping to stabilize the economy. Government revenues and grants
amounted to RWF 239.16 billion in the second quarter 2011 against a program target of
RWF 245.94 billion. This gap is mainly explained by a decline in grants due to delay in
some external budget support disbursements.
A. Domestic revenues
The total domestic revenues amounted to RWF 132.97 in the second quarter 2011 against
RWF 99.73 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year, which is an
increase of 33.33%. Tax revenues stood at RWF 125.91 billion in the second quarter 2011
against RWF 94.41 billion in the corresponding period of 2010, which is an increase of
33.73%. The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) took various measures to broaden tax base
and improve efficiency in its operations, and established measures in fighting tax evasion
and avoidance with a much emphasis on activities of informal sector. In addition, RRA
focused efforts in fighting forged invoices and monitoring international transit. Special

B. Grants
In the second quarter 2011, total grants sensitively decreased by 27.37%, compared to the
second quarter 2010, from RWF 146.21 to RWF 106.19 billion, and this was due to the
delay of external support disbursements from the World Bank and European Union.
Current (budgetary) grants totaled only RWF 81.74 billion (76.98% of total grants) while
capital grants account for 23.02% of the total grants (RWF 24.45 billion).

building and infrastructural development projects as the main spending priorities
mentioned in the economic development and poverty reduction strategy paper (EDPRS).
A. Current expenditure
Comprising wages and salaries, purchases of goods and services, interest payments on
public debt, transfers and subsidies, and exceptional social expenditures, current
expenditures amounted to RWF 149.02 billion in the second quarter 2011 against RWF
123.42 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2010, which is an increase of20.74%. The purchase of goods and services, which were the second largest component of
current expenditure (28.95%) after transfers and subsidies (34.78%), rose by 40.38%.
Indeed, exceptional social expenditure, interest payments on public debt, and wages &
salaries increased respectively by 56.27%, 23.34%, and 9.58%. Here, more spending
concentrated in education particularly training teachers, construction of nine year basic
education classrooms, extension of electricity and water, and construction of various
roads.

3. Budget deficit and its financing
A. Budget deficit
In line with tax collection efforts and external assistance, the Government financial
transactions registered an overall deficit (payment order basis) including grants of RWF
25.37 billion in the second quarter 2011 against a surplus of RWF 36.26 billion in the
second quarter 2010, and this worsening was mainly due to the delay of some external
support disbursements. The overall deficit excluding grants reached RWF 131.56 billion in
the second quarter 2011 from RWF 109.95 billion in the second quarter 2010. The current
deficit improved from RWF 23.69 billion to RWF 16.05 billion in the second quarter 2011.
B. Deficit financing
In the second quarter 2011, a total overall deficit of RWF 54.95 billion (cash basis) was
mainly both externally and domestically financed, where domestic financing from thebanking sector was RWF 50.60 billion against RWF -5.90 billion in the second quarter 2010.
Similarly, external resources in-form of budgetary loans amounted to RWF 21.36 billion in
the second quarter 2011 compared to nothing that was disbursed in the second quarter
2010.

II.4.2 DOMESTIC DEBT
The total domestic government debt stock rose by 14.4%, from RWF 303.6 billion end
December 2010 to RWF 347.3 billion end June 2011. Liquidity problems were observed in
March 2011 as result of government budget constraints due to the delay of external
support disbursements, leading to the high increase in central bank overdraft to the
treasury by 80.7%, from RWF 18.5 billion end December 2010 to RWF 33.5 billion end June
2011.

III. MONETARY SECTOR DEVELOPMENTS
Despite higher pressures recorded during the first half of 2011 compared to end 2010,reflecting mainly the first round pass-through of the rising fuel prices on domestic
markets, the overall inflation in Rwanda remained moderate to allow the BNR to continue
conducting a monetary policy focusing on stimulating the lending activity. The BNR also
continued to ensure that real interest rates remain positive for further supporting
domestic savings mobilization and the financial deepening required for growth.
To this effect, the BNR decided to maintain the key policy rate low with the objective of
releasing more liquidity to the system by limiting incentives for banks to invest on money
market. Thus, the Key Repo Rate (KRR) has been kept unchanged to 6% for the second
quarter 2011 from successively 7.5% in March 2010, 7% in June 2010 and 9% in December
2009. As result, the banking system has been experiencing significant improvement in
liquidity situation allowing banks to increase the credit to the economy. To further build
and shape market expectations, BNR has improved its communication strategy by creating
an interactive platform of exchanging information with all stakeholders, with a particular
focus on financial institutions and the business community.

In terms of quarterly growth rate of the main components of M3, currency in circulation
growth reached 21.0% in June 2011 from a negative growth in March (-7.3%) while it has
been 17.5% for the whole year 2010. The current trend of currency in circulation is mainly
driven by economic activities boosted by some projects injecting money in rural areacoupled with some structural factors like insufficient development of non cash payment
instruments; cash utilization in the cross border trade, low opportunity cost for holding
cash and seasonal effects, mainly from the coffee season financing. Deposits in the
banking sector have increased significantly to 12.7% in June from 3.2% in the first quarter
2011.

This situation was due to a strong increase of 12.2 percent in currency in circulation out of
the banking system by end June 2011, while the Monetary Programme projected a decline
of 0.3 percent during the same period. This unexpected change in the Reserve Money
composition has been posing a serious challenge in liquidity management. To achieve the
Reserve Money end June target, BNR has been intervening frequently and massively toabsorb liquidity from the banking system.

Analyzing the monetization of the economy, there are indications that Rwandan economy
has been more monetized than past years, as evidenced by the increase of the Broad
Money to GDP ratio, from 65.3% by end 2009 to 72.1% in 2011.
IV. INTEREST RATES DEVELOPMENTS
In regards of short-term interest rates, repo rate has been fixed at its maximum level
(6.0%) since the starting of this year, following the signal given by BNR of a need of
liquidity to achieve current monetary targets. However, BNR succeeded to avoid distortionin t-bills rate and the latter recorded a slight decrease and stood at 6.78% by end June
2011 from 7.3% in December 2010. In the meanwhile, the interbank rate has been
increasing as it reached 7.0% in June 2011 from 6.7% in January 2011, reflecting tight
interbank liquidity.
On the side of commercial banks rates, deposit interest rate has been increasing since last
year, but it increased significantly in the second quarter 2011 standing at 8.03% in June
from 7.93% in May after 8.65% in April 2011. This performance encouraged significantly
savings as time deposits grew by 99% standing at RWF 85.5 billion in June 2011 from RWF
42.9 billion in January 2011.

Most of UMURENGE SACCOs did not apply for loan granting authorization because they had
not yet fulfilled the minimum requirements for a SACCO to be licensed for such activity.
Regarding the definitive operating license, SACCOs encountered difficulties to produce
adequate business plans and procedures manuals.
